Dante Red ebay car with leather

I know you've posted it in the sticky Richard, but sometimes it appears folk
don't fancy ploughing through all the pages so I'll post it again here in a self
contained thread where it's merits and drawbacks can be thrashed out!

Anyone here the owner as it's rare for someone to mention ARCS?

The 'biggy' is the leaking nearside which HAS to be the front ram although
a July 09 MOT so a bit of time to save up for a replacement ram!!

The missing foglight is a worry if the car has been allowed to fall into
disrepair. The black lekky seats with winter pack will certainly push the price
up, although a leather set on ebay during Xmas sat for two days at £50
BUY-IT-NOW!!

Anyone fancy a pop - the leak may well be the ram low pressure return
pipe so may be rescuable although a recent one I had to change seemed
to be leaking badly past the main bellows.

As I said in 'tother thread Andrew, it's got it all going for it and apart from it's Nelson look (one eye) it looks presentable.

Full Winter Packed ones are not that common. So given it's the right colour and spec. It has to be worth a pop. £300 and it'll still be a good buy given the spec.

No sunroof or Activa badge though :cry:

Wonder what the reserve is?

Can't be anyone on here as we never speak of "ARCS". I had to think for a bit to recall what it stood for :roll:

I realise we aren't all acronym'd out here but he's obviously an enthusiast
or at least someone who's aware of what the Activa system is all about
- the clue is in his auction title too!! :lol:

I don't expect it to crack the £400 barrier with bidding so it may be a case
of the reserve not being met, relisted on normal bidding where it struggles
to get to £250 and is then scrapped by an Activa Despatcher - don't believe
me? I've seen it too many times on ebay now so am not so much cynical or
pessimistic as sad but realistic.
